45th Extra-Ordinary Council Meeting, Day 1

Day 1 of the 45th extraordinary council meeting approved a R750 million International Finance Corporation loan over 15 years, but only after a disputed recount. The first show of hands gave 134 yes, 99 no and 3 abstentions, short of the 136 needed; the Speaker allowed a recount, which gave 137 yes, 102 no and 3 abstentions. The DA and ActionSA said the recount breached the standing rules, and the DA had its opposition recorded in the minutes under rule 84.
